Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

A good friend of mine purchased a trip to South Africa at a charity auction and invited me to join him and his two sons on the trip.

We will be hunting plains game with Restless Africa.

My interest is Spiraled horned game. So hopefully I’ll be able to get on a few of them.

I would anticipate that this will be one of many trips to the Dark Continent to come.

Hill Country Rifles in New Braunfels, TX is just a few miles away from me. I own several of their rifles and plan on taking a .308 shooting 130 grain Barnes TTSX bullets for the smaller quarry. Also taking a 300 Win Mag shooting 180 grain 180 grain Barnes TTSX for any of the larger species. Hopefully that’s a good plan. I’ll do some more reading on this forum and see what others think.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Mike

Welcome Mike. I trained in San Antonio (BAMC) and have been to and thru New Braunfels many times. Congrats on your first safari. Start planning the second! I'm no expert but I suggest you take the 300WM only. In the bush you never know what will present itself. Unless taking DG and PG rifle I think one rifle is better and easier. Love the look and reputation of HCR wish I'd known about them sooner. Best of luck and please post lots of pics and details of the hunt.
